Arctic Cat Wins Second
Consecutive Quad Terrain Championship
Arctic Cat 4x4s- The Racers Choice
when the Terrain Gets Rough
Jesse West |
Thief River Falls, MN - The
2007 World Powersports Association National ATV
season is now in the books, and Team Arctic Quad
Terrain Racers placed 6 racers in the top 9
spots. Jesse West led the crew to bring home a
second consecutive Arctic Cat championship
aboard his 650H1.
Jesse remarked about his results, “I worked
really hard to win this QTC championship, and am
terribly proud of this accomplishment. I
couldn’t have won it though without the help of
my family and friends in our West Racing trailer
as well as the support from Arctic Cat. Our
650H1s are tough. I hope this second
championship showcases the punishment an Arctic
Cat can withstand. I also want to thank the fans
who support us and come out to the races. I’ll
do everything I can to put on a good show for
you!”

Standing on the podium in third place, was
SPI Racing’s Rory Beckman, while Josh West,
brother of Jesse, took WPSA’s Pro Rookie of the
Year honors after finishing 6th on the season.
The championships and awards didn’t end for
Arctic Cat in the ATV division. In the
SuperSport UTV class, SPI Racing’s Kyle
Fiebelkorn wrapped up the top season points in
his Arctic Cat Prowler XT.
“I couldn’t be much happier with how our
season went,” said Arctic Cat Race Manager Ted
Bettin. “The collective effort put forth by the
Arctic Cat Factory, as well as our racers and
teams, makes this season a success. Speed may
have won holeshots this year, but when over
two-thirds of the class picks an Arctic Cat
650H1, you know what machine is the most durable
when the track gets rough!”

So what’s next for Arctic Cat? Bettin says,
“We’re going to come back tougher than ever next
season. We vowed that last year and brought home
another championship this year. Arctic Cat
learns from racing and that transfers to the
consumer, so you can count on our machines being
stronger and faster.”
